Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has reportedly gained profit after correctly predicting the outcome of Nigeria’s opening match at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The DMW Records boss staked a wager on the Super Eagles’ Group C encounter against Tanzania in Fes, Morocco, predicting that both teams would score in the fixture.
His forecast proved spot-on as Nigeria secured a 2-1 victory over the Taifa Stars in an entertaining contest on Tuesday.
A late strike from Ademola Lookman ensured all three points for the Super Eagles and handed Davido a hefty return on his investment.
Nigeria dominated possession for large periods of the match but found themselves trailing after Tanzania took the lead against the run of play. However, the Super Eagles fought back to level the scores before Lookman’s decisive goal sealed the comeback victory.
The win puts Nigeria in a strong position in Group C as they chase a fourth AFCON title.
Nigeria will face their next Group C opponents as they look to build on their opening day victory and advance to the knockout stages of the competition.
